(1) Based on the units of the rate constant, what is the order of the reaction? {1:MULTICHOICE:zero-order#No, that is not correct.~=first-order#Correct!~second-order#No, that is not correct.~third-order#No, that is not correct.}

(2) What is the concentration of CH3CN after 0.20 minutes of reaction if the initial concentration is 0.10 M? {1:NUMERICAL:=4e-4:1e-5#Correct!~%50%4e-4:5e-5#Close, but not quite.}(Do not include units!)

Data Pooling in a Chemical Kinetics Experiment: The Aquation of a Series of Cobalt(III) ComplexesRichard S. Herrick, Kenneth V. Mills, and Lisa P. NestorDescribes an experiment that introduces students to integrated rate laws, the search for a mechanism that is consistent with chemical and kinetic data, and the concept of activation barriers and their measurement in a curriculum whose pedagogical philosophy makes the laboratory the center of learning for undergraduates in their first two years of instruction.Herrick, Richard S.; Mills, Kenneth V.; Nestor, Lisa P.

Reaction Order Ambiguity in Integrated Rate PlotsJoe LeeThis article provides a theoretical and statistical justification for the necessity of monitoring a reaction to a substantial fraction of completion if integrated rate plots plots are to yield unambiguous orders.Lee, Joe.
